"What a loser!"

Li Shimin was in the private room next to the terrace, and there was a lot of people outside, how could he not hear it? Li Mu saw the whole process of making money, and he saw it in his eyes, which was simply heartbreaking. The mood that had just calmed down yesterday was congested again after witnessing Li Mu's money. He watched Li Mu throw the money down, as if he saw that on the battlefield, the Tang soldiers gave the blades and armor to the enemy. Such a way of spending money is really too much load on a poor emperor!

Li Shimin poured a glass of wine and shouted angrily: "Gao Gan, go, bring that bastard boy Li Mu to me!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Empress Changsun wanted to persuade her, but Li Shimin couldn't listen to it anymore, so she held back her anger and said: "Queen, don't persuade you anymore, I have to talk to him today, I don't want to take his money for myself, but I can't see him being so poor and extravagant." If this continues, this kid has to go the wrong way! ”

When Empress Changsun heard this, she also felt a little reasonable, but she still said: "Your Majesty, Li Mu is still young after all, and he is a talented person, so when he speaks, he should be tactful." ”

"Hmph, I don't need to be tactful with him!"

As he spoke, Li Mu had already followed Gonggong Gao in with a red face. He saw Li Shimin's face stretched, as if he didn't see it, he was not ashamed, but proud, walked over with a smile, and said, "What does Your Majesty think of the scene just now?" Can you be magnanimous? ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu, looked at his appearance of not knowing death, and was angry, and scolded with a slashing face: "How long will you kid be angry with me?" Didn't you cry out that you had no money and were poor? Yesterday there were 100,000 yuan, and today this one is made, what do you mean? Angry?! ”

Li Mu was stunned, his expression was very in place, his smile froze on his face, and he looked at Li Shimin blankly, as if something unreasonable had happened to him. If he wasn't really angry, Li Shimin would really wonder if something was wrong with him when he looked at him, and he had an innocent face!

"Your Majesty, the minister really has no money, not fake and no money. The minister has not deceived His Majesty! ”

"How dare you say that?" Seeing Li Mu's quibbles, Li Shimin became even more angry, and asked: "Where did the 100,000 yuan that proposed to Li Siwen come from yesterday?" ”

"That is the minister signed a one-year supply contract with Jiangnan merchants, a total of 10,000 jars and three cups, a 20% discount, and 80,000 yuan. Then the minister picked up the surplus at home again, scraped together 20,000 yuan, and took it to the bank to exchange for gold-" Li Mu explained very seriously, in fact, he was completely. Most of this gold was given to him by Ju Zhisheng. Ju Zhisheng gave him a thousand catties of gold and a thousand catties of silver. A total of 110,000 guan, he gave out 20,000 guan, and greedy for 90,000 guan. He made up some by himself, but it was only 10,000.

Only he and Ju Zhisheng know the things here. Unless Ju Zhisheng stands up and denounces him, Li Shimin will never know. As for the statement of the winery's order, making fake accounts, who has done it in this era?

Suddenly, as if he had a "sudden realization", he looked at Li Shimin strangely and said, "Why is Your Majesty asking this?" The Ministry of Internal Affairs still owes money to the minister, doesn't His Majesty think that the minister is greedy for the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? How can Your Majesty think of me like this! ”

Li Mu's eyes were red, like a wronged child who had been shamelessly slandered by adults. Li Shimin couldn't answer the phone for an instant, opened his mouth, closed it again, and looked at Empress Eldest Sun for help.

Empress Eldest Sun glanced at him helplessly, then took over and said, "Li Mu, Your Majesty is just worried that you have gone astray, and has no other meaning. ”

"Oh." Li Mu seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister knows what he is doing, and he will never go astray." ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu like this, and felt as if his IQ had been crushed, his intuition told him that things were not so simple, Li Mu was definitely not what he said, but there was no evidence, seeing Li Mu say this, he took over and said, "Yes, I am just worried that you have gone astray." Look at the way you looked just now, others look at the business, and the focus is on making money, but you are good, you didn't wait to make money, and you spread it out first? Aren't you a loser? What's the use of you giving away all that money? The door is full of people, and they can't get in your gambling house! Isn't all this money wasted? Isn't it astray that you're doing this just to show off your wealth? ”

"Your Majesty's words, the minister doesn't dare to agree!"

Li Mu suddenly changed into an extremely positive look, and retorted loudly. Ignoring Li Shimin's ugly face, Li Mu continued: "Your Majesty, there are a few points that the ministers dare not agree with. If Your Majesty forgives the minister for his innocence, the minister will say it. ”

"Hmph, if you want to say it, why do you want to forgive you for your innocence first?"

"Your Majesty does not forgive the sin, so the minister will not say anything."

Li Shimin blushed and said, "You say! ”

"Your Majesty, this is one of them. This money belongs to the minister. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face became extremely ugly. This sentence obviously pierced his mind, and he couldn't say that I want your money, and your money is mine. As the emperor and Li Mu's elder, Li Shimin really doesn't have such a thick skin. He can't show that he is angry, if he does, wouldn't it be tantamount to acquiescing to Li Mu's words? had to be expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with him, but in fact, he was already angry in his heart.

Li Mu said to himself: "Your Majesty, the minister feels so. If Your Majesty wants to be a wise king, the first thing he must abide by is not to plunder the people's wealth. Why did the minister say that? It is not for the sake of the minister himself, but the truth summarized by the minister reading the "Historical Records". ”

"Got to the "Historical Records" again?" Li Shimin really couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Is "Historical Records" your shield? Say whatever you want, you don't have to fake the mouths of the ancients! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister really derives the truth from the "Historical Records". Li Mu said stiffly, he is not a fool, don't you ask Sima Qian's mouth, waiting for the little shoes to wear?

Li Mu looked at Li Shimin's face, picked up a sentence first, and said: "Your Majesty and the Empress are both people who have read through the "Historical Records". The minister will not give specific examples, but only one phenomenon. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors began, and continued until the Spring and Autumn Period, to the Warring States, and then to the Qin, Han, and Three Kingdoms...... Looking forward from now on, one thing will be found, and that is that no matter how powerful a country is, when it begins to perish, there are signs. ”

"All the signs, in the end, boil down to one place, that is, the words 'Pathless Faint King'. Business, Zhou You, all have no way. So what is non-Taoism? The minister's view starts from the inability to control himself. ”

"People have seven emotions and six desires, money, who doesn't love it? Beauty, who doesn't like it? If the people want to get this, it may take a lifetime of hard work, but the king wants to get it in a whim. ”

"But are all the riches and beauties in the world owned by the king alone? Necessarily not. And the king relied on his own power to take it by force. People dare not speak, but they dare to be angry. When anger accumulates to a certain extent, it will inevitably explode. Because the will of the people cannot be violated, and the root cause of these anger is the king's inability to control himself. ”

"Your Majesty, if the people want to live and work in peace and contentment, in the eyes of the minister, it is very simple. First, let it have a stomach, and then, let it have a dwelling. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, only four. What Gu Zhi Rao Shun did was nothing more than to try to let the people get these four things. But even Rao Shun, they can't do it, give these to the people. So what can be done? The only way to do this is to guide the people to work towards this goal. ”

"People get different amounts of what they give, and how much they get. How to quantify how much people give, this will have the concept of money. Every citizen, as long as he is not cheated and cheated and steals the money, the money earned through any channel should be protected and respected, because he has paid. And if a king sees that a man has a lot of money, and he wants to use it for his own selfishness, then it is the beginning of his lack of self-control. ”

Li Shimin's face turned red, and he said, "You don't want to accuse Sang and scold Huai, have I robbed you of your money?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Mu said: "Your Majesty still doesn't understand what the minister means, the minister is not just talking about himself. The minister is reminding His Majesty that the minister is a person who does not love money, even if His Majesty copies the minister's house, the minister receives His Majesty's kindness and repays it, and the minister will never complain. But will Your Majesty stop there? Today, His Majesty got all the money, and His Majesty got it with a word. Because the minister is a minister, and His Majesty is the king, the minister cannot rebel against the king, so His Majesty succeeded. If it is tomorrow, Your Majesty will squander all the wealth of his ministers. At this time, Your Majesty has already tasted the sweetness, will you still wait for the tax to be collected? ”

"Your Majesty can't help but think, Li Mu is a minister, I robbed his family property, and he has no choice. The eldest grandson Wuji is also a minister, he also has a family fortune, I robbed him, he can't help it? The Taiyuan Wang family is richer, and if he asks Wang Qi for it, he can't ...... it."

"One can't do it, two can't do it, if it's a thousand, ten thousand...... Gate valves, families, scholars, can't they all do it? ”

"The soul of the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is not far away, can Your Majesty still remember how Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made all the people fall into fire and water in order to achieve his own merits, so that the heroes rose together, and the country was destroyed only in an instant?"

The more Li Mu spoke, the more excited he became, and Li Shimin had to get up. He didn't expect so much, and he didn't think so deeply, but after Li Mu said this, he couldn't deny that Li Mu was right.

Not to mention anything else, Li Mu alone shook his will in two days. It can be seen that this case cannot be opened, and if it is opened, it cannot be stopped.

"It's a great thing, I remember."

Mu Li let out a sigh and said: "The minister is really afraid that His Majesty will not approve of the minister's words, if His Majesty does not approve, there is no need for the minister to say the following words." ”

Li Shimin got completely serious and said, "You say, I listen." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that only by ensuring that the property that the people have earned through their struggle belongs to them, can the people have the motivation to work hard for a better life. Your Majesty, the minister has long said that Rao Shun is Rao Shun, and he cannot make the king Rao Shun. In the same way, the people of Rao Shun cannot teach the people to do it. Only if the people want to do it themselves, can they achieve the world of Rao Shun. As a successful county king, it is absolutely not enough to have 'Ming'. ”

"The minister advised His Majesty to set up the Internal Affairs Office and operate it in its current way, precisely to find a way out."

"Does Your Majesty know the order?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I've heard a lot lately. ”

"Your Majesty, the order is a method used by the minister." This is what Li Mu wanted to say for a long time, but he never found a chance, and today he was finally able to spit it out: "Your Majesty, wood is in the mountains, and it is worthless, so it can only be used to burn firewood." But the Ministry of Industry now needs wood to make Zhenguan plows. So, the minister placed a batch of orders. When someone takes this order, they will go to the logging, and the logging needs to be employed, the merchant will pay the wages, the timber needs to be transported, the groom can still make a profit, the car needs to be used, and the car builder can make money, and the horse dealer can make money. Transported to Chang'an for processing, carpenters can make money. They made the parts of the Zhenguan plow, and the Ministry of Industry purchased this batch of parts, made them into Zhenguan plows, and sold them to the farmers who farmed the land, so that the farmers could grow ten acres of land, and in the first year, they might not make money in order to give money to the plow, but in the second year, they returned the plow money, and they returned the land, and they would make money. ”

"And Your Majesty will have a lot of commercial taxes, agricultural taxes, etc. Has Your Majesty found out? The Ministry of Internal Affairs has only placed a batch of orders, and many people have benefited from it. They will also be very happy because they have been rewarded for their efforts, they can support their families, they can make ends meet. That's what drives them. ”

"But what if you don't do it that way?"

"Your Majesty, you can imagine that there is no Ministry of Internal Affairs, no orders. His Majesty levies and sends forced labor, stipulating that all provinces and provinces must levy enough young and strong people to go into the mountains to cut wood, and then transport them to Chang'an, and then levy craftsmen to do it. It doesn't cost anything, but did Your Majesty really save it? ”

"How can there be an immortal in servitude? And put this matter aside, do you think that as a common man, he will treat the same as a common man? ”

"If this is done, the parts of the Zhenguan plough that Your Majesty obtained will inevitably be of inferior quality. So, how can more land be cultivated? ”

Li Mu said that his mouth was hot, his mouth was dry, he poured a glass of wine to moisten his throat, and finally concluded: "In short, I think that selfishness is the nature and motivation of people. This is something that cannot be avoided, and His Majesty cannot change it, so he can only take advantage of the situation. After all, people in this world can't be like ministers, selfless, treating money as dung, and valuing love and righteousness as life......"

Not again!

Li Shimin listened to Li Mu's tirade and was about to praise a few words, when he suddenly heard these words, he instantly destroyed all the atmosphere.

Why can't this kid be serious for a while?

Let's say that he is pretending, and if he can pretend consistently, it can't be regarded as pretending. But he is not pretending, he is obviously the appearance of two people, could it be that he is affected by brain disease and is delirious?

Li Shimin couldn't figure it out, but he knew what to do now.

He gestured to the door.

Li Mu closed his mouth, squatted down, and lay down on the ground.

"Get out!"

Lap, lap, roll out the door.
